Chapter 70 - Escape Once More

Noon.

Mo Xi had to take leave of absence from the school to settle some issues with Blue Diamond Entertainment. So, she walked out of the school alone to go to Blue Diamond Entertainment. As she was walking, she saw an old man crossing the road and a car was dashing towards it.

"Look out!" Mo Xi shouted as she dashed towards the old man.

The old man heard what Mo Xi said but couldn't react in time and could only stare at the car that was coming for him.

As it was an old man, Mo Xi didn't dare to pull or push the old man. Instead, Mo Xi shielded the old man away from the car and glared murderously at the driver. Seeing the murderous look in Mo Xi's eyes, the driver immediately turned the steering and crashed into a nearby pole.

"Are you alright?!" Mo Xi asked the old man worriedly.

The old man was still in shock by what happened and stared at Mo Xi blankly.

Seeing that the old man didn't respond, Mo Xi was worried that he was hurt, so she took his hands and felt his pulse as she looked around the old man's body to see if he was injured.

Apart from the shock that came from the accident, the old man's body was slightly weak as well, but there weren't any injuries on him.

Mo Xi put down the old man's hand and saw that the driver was about to escape. She was immediately angered by that because this either means that the person had wanted to escape from the responsibilities despite it was an accident or he wanted to murder the old man on purpose. Remembering the speed, the car had traveled earlier, Mo Xi believed that it was the latter.

Mo Xi dashed towards the driver and grabbed him. Mo Xi looked at the man's face and was shocked to see a familiar face. The familiar face confirmed Mo Xi's suspicion that it was an attempted murder, so she immediately increased the force she used in fighting.

The man hadn't paid attention to Mo Xi's face, so he hadn't recognized Mo Xi. He swiftly took out a knife and started to attack Mo Xi, but Mo Xi dodged from the attack. Seeing that Mo Xi could evade from his attack, the man started to put in more effort in his fight.

That was when he started to look at Mo Xi's face and saw her familiar face.

"It is you!"

"Do you all have nothing else to say apart from that? So, what if it is me, do you think I will let you escape once more?!" Mo Xi said angrily as she lunged at the man.

They fought for a while and during those times, their heads had knocked on the car a few times. When the man was finally distracted from the pain on his head Mo Xi hit the man's back. The man was unprepared and was knocked out by Mo Xi.

Mo Xi was afraid that the man had some sort of device that could kill him if the people that sent him here found out that he was captured, so she checked her watch to see if there were any devices on the man that could kill him or record whatever that happened. Seeing that there weren't any devices, Mo Xi called Ji Zheng Yang as she knew Jing Mo Chen was busy with training the other soldiers and would not have his phone with him. Furthermore, she knew that Ji Zheng Yang knew who she was so it would be easier to call him than the others.

"Hello, Brother Yang, quickly come to XX High School! Bring along some men and weapons to protect yourselves."

Hearing Mo Xi's anxious and serious voice, Ji Zheng Yang became extremely serious and he immediately gathered some men. As there was some distance between XX High School and the military, Ji Zheng Yang took a helicopter.

Mo Xi then went back to the old man and asked him if he was alright. The old man had already recovered from the shock, so he answered Mo Xi's question and thank her for her help.

"Grandpa, why were you here? I need to wait for someone to come for this criminal, if you don't mind waiting, I will send you to the hospital after this. Or I could call your family to bring you home," Mo Xi wanted to bring the old man to the hospital because she wanted the old man to check his body.

"I don't know why I was here… I was strolling in the park earlier on. Thank you, young lady, you can just call my son to come here…" The old man told Mo Xi his son's phone number and the man on the other side of the phone was shocked to hear what happened.

The man said that he would come immediately and hung up the call.

Mo Xi then brought the old man to sit at a nearby bench before she returned to the criminal's side.

Eight minutes later.

Ji Zheng Yang came down from the helicopter along with other men.

"Brother Yang, this man is part of the criminal group, bring him back to interrogate," Mo Xi said angrily as she threw the man to the ground.

"Poker?" Ji Zheng Yang was shocked and angered at the same time.

"He is Five of Clubs. There aren't…" Mo Xi wanted to say something when she heard car tires screeching.

*Screech*

A man came down from a black car hastily and looked around. Mo Xi guessed that it was the old man's son and wanted to tell Ji Zheng Yang to wait for her, when Ji Zheng Yang suddenly said, "Dad?!"

"Zheng Yang?! What are you doing here?! Wait, did you see your grandfather?!"

Mo Xi was stunned by the revelation, but she immediately said, "He is over there," as she pointed to where the benches were.

Ji Zheng Yang and his father immediately rushed over.

"Dad! Are you alright?!"

"Grandfather! What happened?!"

"Tian Ping, I am fine, thanks to this young lady here…" The old man then explained whatever that had happened to Ji Zheng Yang and Ji Tian Ping.
